Backup problems

Recommended Posts

GV800 v8.2

Vista

Dual core

1 gig ram

750 gig HD

640x480 interlaced

 

I have just recently had a problem backing up a file larger than 20 minutes.

I have never tried one this large before (only 5 - 15 minutes maybe)

 

I back up using Video/Audio Log, highlight all segments and save as either AVI or I also tried .EXE.

I get a Failed message after about 1/3 to 3/4 of the way done.

I have had no problem when they were only up to aprox. 15 minutes, but anything over 20 to max 60 it fails.

 

I can do a normal back up under backup, but I just want to merge the clips together for a regular avi. or an exe.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed you have only 1 gig ram running Vista, are you sure this enough?

Hello

 

Can you tell me what kind of error message you are getting?

If possible, please write down exact message you got.

 

Thank you.

I've attached some screen shots of a merge of 40 minutes of segments.

 

Once you click ok to start merging the clips you select from the video log, it runs for about 4-5 minutes and the status changes from “Mergingâ€

Hello Jeff,

 

We had done this test with version 8.2 before.

However, we didn't have this issue.

Have you tried add more RAM as dcam mentioned?

 

Please let me know how everything goes.

 

Sincerely,

 

Andy Chen, GeoVision Technical Support.

Hi Andy,

I just added 1 more gig of ram for 2 total, but it still fails.

 

We have 9 Geovision systems (9 supermarkets) with various cards from gv650 gv1000 to gv1450 (I do the installs).

The older cards are running v7 and the newer cards are running v8.1. The newer ones with only 1 gig of ram and vista, but there are no problems. I can backup up to 1 hour to either an exe or merge to one big avi file.

 

The one I am having the problem is a personal one for my house running 8.2. I may downgrade to 8.1 to see if it works better.

 

On another note,

I see you are working on the Iphone. Is there any progress with that. I have an Iphone and would love to see something soon.

I do carry an Att Tilt that I have gview on, but it would be nice to have the iphone working.

 

Jeff
